The application for a building permit requires an estimate of building costs, along with two copies of a site plan drawn to scale (with sufficient clarity, detail and dimensions) showing the location of the proposed construction and the existing structures on the lot. The site plan must include the distance from the new construction to the adjacent property lines, and all zoning requirements must be met.

For fence permits the location of the proposed fence must be indicated on the site plans. Residential fences are limited to six feet in height and may not be placed in front of yards. In some instances, it will be necessary to have the plans prepared by a licensed architect or engineer.

In addition to the plot plan, two copies of construction drawings must be submitted for review. The construction drawings must be extremely detailed in nature, drawn to scale, or fully dimensioned. These drawings must accurately reflect the project which is to be constructed and clearly depict that information.
